Air conditioning for landlords and rental homes in Walkden

For Walkden landlords, simple wall units with limited remotes are the easiest systems for tenants to live with. We cover Walkden as part of Greater Manchester, roughly 7 miles from Manchester. That includes the M28 postcode district.

If your installation qualifies, your quote shows 0% VAT and a lower price. Servicing, repairs, cleaning and controls are charged at 20%.
Planning and permissions
In England, most houses can have an outdoor unit under permitted development if it is no larger than 1.5 m³, meets the MCS 020(a) noise limit of 37 dB(A) at the nearest neighbour's window, and there are no more than two on a detached house or one on other houses. Listed buildings need consent.
